The National Accountability Bureau exonerated on Tuesday PPP leader Makhdoom Amin Fahim and about a dozen former bureaucrats from corruption charges and decided to proceed against Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf MNA Gulzar Khan over alleged allotment of state land.

According to NAB’s spokesman, a meeting of the executive board presided over by the bureau’s Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry, decided not proceed further against former commerce minister Amin Fahim, Rustam Sidhava and others in a case about accumulation of assets beyond their known sources of income because of lack of incriminating evidence.

It may be mentioned that the Supreme Court had in Nov 2013 ordered registration of cases against Mr Fahim and others for their involvement in illegal appointment of National Insurance Company Limited chairman Ayaz Khan Niazi.
